Building Futures

One of Rhode Island College’s key initiatives is to provide a high quality student experience. Part of that involves a focused investment in our infrastructure – both new construction and modernizing aging facilities. Over the next five years, we plan to invest over $310 million – including the updates to Gaige and Craig-Lee – in improving the spaces where our students learn and connect with each other.

The college initiated the process of developing a new campus master plan in October of 2016. At the current time that master plan is still under internal development.

We recently opened​ Gaige Hall, our second largest academic building, after a significant redesign and renovation aimed at increasing collaboration inside and outside the classroom.
Read more about how we are reimagining the teaching and learning environment here! Construction on Craig-Lee, our largest academic building, is well underway and we will post updates soon! Other recent and current projects include major improvements to our residence halls and a renovated space by the Mount Pleasant entrance of the campus that will house a welcome center, campus security, and conference rooms.
